NVC September - 2009 Edition

[deer 1]

Just got a letter today from Dept. of State, NVC, that they received our case and it would be sent to the embassy in about a week. I am out of town working and so I had my sister read the letter to me, so I can't post what the letter said verbatim, but does that sound right? About a week? Wow, That's great if it is the case. Thanks for the offered help and best wishes for everybody on their own journeys.

I am in on this group as well I got my NOA2 approval email and touch on Aug 26th but no hard copy yet. I have been following up with NVC and there is no case number yet.

I wanted to know if anyone else filed or is going to file a joint sponser affidavit of support as well... I am confused as to which form it should be. I've read i-864 in some placces and i-864a in others...

Seems unlikely that you'd go from NOA2 at USCIS directly to the embassy... not that I wouldn't mind having that problem

From what I remember about her profile, she's filing a K1, which is how that happens.

ANSWER: I-864

From the I-864EZ form:

You must complete Form I-864 (and not Form I-864EZ) if

any of the following conditions apply:

.

.

3. You are a joint sponsor;

I-864A is only for a household member or dependent of the primary sponsor

I haven't gotten an interview yet. The average wait time right now from case completion to interview is 90-100 days.

Depends on the country I guess, for most people it's rather 1.5 months on average judging by the signatures/timelines.
